Dear Brenda - I have read all your posts and I know what a lovely and caring and kind person you are. You are not a mad woman. Centrelink is not very user friendly. I had so much trouble when trying to organise stuff for my mum and dad. OMG. Do you have extended family that can help you. Just a thought maybe you could go to your local federal member and see if they could help you. The social worker at the hospital. Don't be off put by them telling you that you need to apply on line. That is not correct. Not everyone has the computer skills or even a computer to do this. This disease and on going medication certainly knocks us around more that anyone could ever imagine. You and your husband deserve help before you go into total financial meltdown. Just a word of advice. Photocopy anything you hand over to Centrelink. Most important. Take care Brenda. xxxx
